While I like to unclutter and clear out things I don’t need, there are certain things I like to archive. Things I would collect include stuff that I think might be useful later, things like tin cans, art supplies, and etc. But there are also things that have significant remembrance values – letters/gifts from friends and souvenirs from trips. It would be like throwing away a piece of my memory if I toss away one of these items…
Today, I was archiving some of the files from my graduate study, it sure did bring back a lot of good memories. My fondest memory of the one-year program is probably tied to my research group – a diversified group of colleagues and a competent yet humorous Greek supervisor!
